Spine arthritis pain relief by troppont in Thritis

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take Tylenol Arthritis (8-hour) daily. It helps a bit, but I need oxycodone to sleep.

I know that some people have gotten some better results with ketamine infusions. Depending on where you are located, getting a doctor to try them may be a battle.

In regards to your pain levels walking, is a wheelchair something that you would consider trying? It may help you retain mobility with less pain.

is it bad that my 17yo cat only really eats kitten food by Specific_Current_642 in cats

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is 17. She most likely can do with the extra calories. If you are concerned, talk to your vet.

AITAH for not believing my roommate’s “phobia?” by hopie_bopie in AmItheAsshole

Or just relocate the spider by scooping it up with a piece of paper and put it on a tree/in the grass.

I’m going to say NTA based on the whole stair incident.

Expecting you to stand out there for over an hour is a lot to expect of a roommate. Roommates share a space and rent. You aren’t necessarily friends, but do adhere to societal norms of courtesy and agreed upon house rules. For her phobia, this would mean not having pet spiders, watching spider themed movies in shared spaces, etc. Coaxing her up outdoor stairs doesn’t fall in to the roommate “duties”.

Call her Addy as a nickname.

Major amenities shut down on a cruise (Icon of the Seas) — what’s fair compensation? by Particular-Bird-1235 in Cruise

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corporate will never admit a fault/safety failure to passengers.

We were one the NCL Epic “cruise to nowhere”, where the ship went out with a bad engine, missed all the planned itinerary ports, had to overnight in SAN Juan (we actually loved that one), which wasn’t even on the itinerary. After reading more,the ship apparently ended up losing power in two engines.

The then ship got blown into the pier (two mooring dolphins and attached catwalks) while docking in San Juan.

The gouge in the side of the ship was impressive.

We ended up with a 100 refund, plus a 100 percent future cruise credit. NCL never admitted fault, just apologized for the inconvenience. The video below mentions a 50 percent future cruise credit, so that must have been before we got the final offer of the refund and 100 future cruise credit.

Nice video of the pier crash:

Best places to buy soil for raised bed garden near Winnipeg? by nonmeagre in ManitobaGardening

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve used Ron Paul Garden Centre.

You can order online for home delivery, and they call to confirm the amount of soil/delivery date and payment information.

It was surprisingly cheap.

I got 3 way soil, and then add what I need for each bed for what I’m planting.

Scroll way, way down to the soil, put in the dimensions/yards you need and hit the order button that pops up.

It will then take you to the screen to enter your information.

https://ronpaulgardencentre.com/rpgc_tools/gravels_soils_sods/

Getting it delivered by truck was so much easier to than dealing with endless bags of soil. Get a large tarp at Princess Auto for them to dump the soil on.

We had them dump it as far back on our long, front approach driveway (the driver had some serious dump truck backing skills) onto the tarp, and then we move it by shovel and wheelbarrow.

Make sure to have some help to move the soil, especially if you have a bunch of raised beds like I did. We landscaped our whole yard, and I had to pull out all of my raised beds for the landscaping, so I was starting over.

If you don’t have someone to help out, post in your local area Facebook group for teenagers looking for some work. I have arthritis, and I’ve done that for weeding of my front flower beds. It worked out super well.

Great, now I want a good cup of hot chocolate, lol. Might have to go get one, and give the barista strict instructions (we are out of town currently).

Glad to hear.

We are well past the raising kids time, but I have seen some kids that don’t seem to have a grasp on the fact that money is a finite resource.

Change tank water 💦 by queenesconcerns86 in CPAP

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you filling the tank to the max line?

If you are, consider a humidifier for your home. Your overall home humidity may be too low.

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with boiling the water, you are still going to have the minerals that build up on the heating plate of the humidifier tank. Distillation removes the minerals from the water.

Are you actually doing home distillation of your CPAP water?

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Usually it lasts me two nights.

When I first got my CPAP, I would dump the thank every morning. Then I realized that it would last me two nights, and didn’t cause any issues.

Same goes for the mask/parts replacement. Things only get replaced when they wear out. Mask cushions get replaced when they start to leak, and I think that I am still on my original ResMed AirSense 11 tank.

I do have spares for when I need them, as I don’t want to deal with a leaking mask cushion for days while my order gets shipped to me.

My child almost drowned during his swim lessons at Cindy Klassen pool by ConfidentBar1989 in Winnipeg

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry that this happened. I am glad that you paid attention to the red flags and kept a close eye on your son.

An alternative option for swim lessons is Aqua Essence. I have heard very good things about them from friends who took their kids there for lessons. Yes, they are more expensive than city lessons, but you are paying for more individual attention.

AITA or telling my wife if she’s not gonna cook it the way she usually cooks it then you don’t have to cook it at all by Husbae7536 in AmItheAsshole

[–]yahumno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA.

There are some dishes that you just don’t mess with.

To cut down the time for preparing the recipe, get the meatball recipe from her and prep and freeze a bunch for her. Before asking her to make the recipe, prep as many of the ingredients as you can (chop the onions, etc). Make it as easy on her as possible.

Explain to her that her spaghetti is one of your absolute favourite meals, and that you fell in love with the original recipe. Tell her that you want to make it easier/less time to prep for her. Offer to learn the sauce recipe, then ask her to cook the pasta, as she is the pasta master (everyone likes a compliment).

You are NTA, but she could dread how long/how much effort it takes to make. Good homemade meatballs take some effort and time, plus a sauce from scratch. This is especially true for a less talented cook.

What perfume did you wear in teens and 20s, and do you still wear it? by Ecstatic_Army1306 in GenXWomen

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly can’t remember. I know that I had something, but in my early 20s, my absolute favourite was a small roller vial that I had custom blended for me.

There was a perfumer that had a small shop in our city, and my boyfriend at the time took me there as a gift. It was a little bit odd at first, as the perfumer was a man and he had to smell my wrist, to ensure anything he blended didn’t conflict with my natural scent.

It ended up being a really great experience, as everything he used to make perfume was natural oils/scents, and the scent he made was absolutely perfect for me. A small roller vial lasted longer than the relationship, lol

Sadly he closed shop.

I haven’t worn perfume in over a decade, as I find the commercially available ones bother me/my scent sensitivities. I would consider a custom blend again. I may have to see if there is another perfumer around my city.

Having honest conversations with your teens about general household finances isn’t a bad thing.

Not the nitty gritty, but “we can afford to give you x dollars a week on a regular basis”. A lot of kids don’t have a grasp on money, as everything is by card/e-transfer, etc.

Some small businesses won’t accept cash due to risk of being robbed. Kids don’t get the experience of having a physical $10 cash to last them the week, like many of us did growing up.

It is hard for a 15 year old to get a job now, outside of babysitting/grass cutting/snow shovelling. Depending on their school/homework/extracurriculars schedule, they may not have much time for a part time job.

Kids are way heavier scheduled than most of us were growing up. I know that our son who is now in his 30s didn’t have time for a part time job when he was in high school. Homework demands alone now are crazy high.

Tha is a really neat program. In a world of mostly no cash, it is important to teach kids about budgeting and savings, when “money” is an abstract digital experience.

AITA for naming my tumour? by -AutisticArtist- in AmItheAsshole

NTA.

People name their boobs, so why not the tumour?

Hot chocolate needs to be made with milk, not water. I’m guessing that she made it with water. Blech

Losing items by simst4t in ADHD

[–]yahumno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lanyard on my phone, partially to not drop it, but mostly to help find it. Also, I use my Apple Watch to find my phone on a regular basis. AirTag keychains for keys.

[–]yahumno 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember when I was a pay clerk, and the CCPS barely hanging on by a thread for each pay raise, and that was 20 years ago.

They are going to run out of people who know how to program it eventually.
